To evaluate the power of specific frequency component in signal, Goertzel algorithm will be a better solution than fast Fourier transform (FFT). Because Goertzel algorithm allows us to evaluate a single DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) term at a time.

But the computational time is related to the size of data. If we need to analyze a huge volume of data, how can we improve the performance? In this project, short-time technique is introduced. It allows us to take less computational time with an acceptable error tolerance (depends on the argument window given by user).

• Evaluate the power of a single DFT term by goertzel

  import gofft
  import numpy as np
  
  fs = 1000   # sampling frequency
  ft = 60     # target frequency to be evaluated (60 Hz)
  dur = 2     # duration of signal
  num = fs*dur  # sampling points
  t = np.linspace(0, dur, num)  # time series
  data = np.sin(2*np.pi*ft*t)   # signal to be evaluated (60 Hz)
  
  mag = gofft.alg.goertzel(data, fs, ft, fs)
  print(mag)  # 0.4969141358692001

1. gofft.alg.goertzel: Normal Goertzel algorithm.
2. gofft.alg.goertzel_m: Same as 1., but it can take multiple values as ft (target frequency). This implementation is used to inspect the decrement of overhead resulted by calling goertzel() multiple times when we need to evaluate several fts.
3. gofft.alg.goertzel_st: Short time version of Goertzel algorithm.
4. gofft.alg.goertzel_st_m: Implemented with the same reason of goertzel_m.
5. gofft.alg.fft_eval: Evaluate specific DFT terms by scipy.fftpack.fft.
6. gofft.alg.stfft_eval: Short-time version of fft_eval.

NOTE 01: In order to make the comparison as fair as possible, please note that the short-time techniques in goertzel_st, goertzel_st_m and stfft_eval are all implemented in python, not in C.

NOTE 02: In this project, stfft_eval (short-time version of fft_eval) is different to the widely-known STFT (short-time Fourier transform).

(you don't need to install this package to run the following scripts)

• To verify the correctness of implemented algorithms, you can run unit tests.

  All test cases are written in gofft/alg/tests/test_dsp.py.

  $ python runtests.py

(you don't need to install this package to run the following scripts)

• Run all benchmark cases and plot result

  $ python runbench.py

• Run all benchmark cases but don't plot result

  $ python runbench.py --skip_plot

• Plot result only (please make sure that there are log files in folder bench_log)

  $ python runbench.py --skip_bench

• Data type: float64 (fig_02 is a partial view of fig_01)
